Where to find ingredients
Beef topside: Commonly available at most local wet markets or supermarket butchery counters like Cold Storage or FairPrice. Request 'topside' for lean roasting. Dark beer: Can be found in the alcohol section of major supermarkets like CS Fresh or FairPrice Finest; look for stouts or dark lagers. Onion soup mix: Usually found in the international or condiments aisle of larger supermarkets; if unavailable, a high-quality onion gravy granules or dry onion mix is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the dark beer and the onion soup mix in your pressure cooker
- Add the beef topside slices to the cooker, ensuring they are evenly spread out
- Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high heat until it reaches pressure
- Reduce the heat and cook for 40 minutes once the pressure is stabilised
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid
- Serve the pot roast while hot
